Wait, this could be viable. If your dates were off by a few days even it is common to see only a yolk sac. Pray, and if this is meant to be right now it will happen. If it doesnt work out, it is nothing you have done, your body is helping you weed out the bad eggs, so you can try again and have a healthy baby. I have seen many girls here told it was a blighted ovum and it turn out to be healthy. Just needed more time. Get a second opionion with a DR who will take your HCG levels. Your DR seems wierd bcs they didnt bother with that yet, as thats ususally the FIRST thing done, NOT an ultrasound this early for this very reason. Best of luck dear!

Unfortunately, my blighted ovum was actually a blighted ovum. As much as I wanted to have hope, I found reading stories about people who were misdiagnosed made me feel great. Then I would go into my OB and be told there was nothing there. They did several ultrasounds on me in the office then sent me to do a high level ultrasound at the hospital. They also did HCG blood draws every other day. If your HCG is going down and the ultrasounds are showing nothing one after another, it sounds like it may be bad news. I'm sorry for your possible loss.

But with all that said, I hope you are one of the rare cases where everything turns out well. My thoughts are with you.
